BEDTIME STORIES
By Norm Foster
10th November - 1st December 2007
SYNOPSIS
The play has 6 different and at times interconnected stories running through
it. The play starts off very sexy and wildly funny as we're introduced to Lou
and Betsy, a middle-aged couple who have agreed to have sex on live radio for
$5,000. We see some poignant moments in the next story, when two old high school
friends reconnect and rekindle a moment from the past. The laughs keep coming
when a break-in leads to some unexpected male bonding in the next one and even
more as we meet shock rocker Tommy Quick and one of his devoted fans in the
following set. The fifth story brings out the biggest laughs, when the owner of
a strip club tries to fire an all-too-eager exotic dancer. The final story,
although never short on comedy, takes us back to the beginning of the play and
closes the adventure thoughtfully and cleverly.
